Oh, the wit just flows like water. This guy should have a YouTube channel where he's a traffic cop and gets to say smart-arse things to speeders.

Sure would cost less than $200 billion...

I'd hate to know what you consider "not easy".

Yeah, we really held back Curtis LeMay. The only reason we reduced the level of firebombing is Dow Chemical couldn't make enough napalm fast enough.

re: Psychology of People Who Don't Have Tattoos

Posted by Red October on 3/19/26 at 4:53 pm to Havoc

One minor tattoo obviously NBD.

But the larger the surface area seems to add to the trashy/freak factor especially as you add piercings.

MANY years ago, I worked at a gun store here in BR, and we had biker customers (2 guys) that started coming in with a youngish and very sweet girl (maybe 22). At first, she had one piercing in her nose, then a small tattoo on her arm, then more and more and more, until she had full sleeves on both arms, and her upper chest and neck covered. At the same time, she became progressively more used-up and freaky looking, and clearly was doing lots of meth (and bikers). It was really painful to watch her descent into the abyss, all the more so because, can I tell you, this girl was flat-out, legit, real-deal beautiful. The last time I saw her she was just grotesque.

I left there a long time ago and I cannot imagine she is still alive. Very sad...

But when do we really start believing it’s
coming.

Perspectives change with age.

I'll be 67 this year. If 87 is considered a long life, then I've got 20 years left, which is nothing.

Put into context, if you told a 25 year-old they were going to die at 45, would that affect their concern about the future?

It's all very surreal, because virtually everything else feels the same as it did when you were younger. The knowledge that time is short has always been there, but with age that fact becomes less abstract and more concrete.

I'm working hard to prolong my inevitable demise until well into my 90's, and I wish all of you a long life...

Research into the "hydrodynamics of defecation" have shown that "most mammals, regardless of size, take an average of just 12 seconds to defecate".

Sounds about right. Of course I take Metamucil, and don't eat much cheese or popcorn...

Got a big shop across town if I want to work on anything serious. Got a great sound-treated room upstairs with an adjacent bar and library, a nice TV, big-time stereo, two doors worth of separation, and only one chair -- my mangy leather Lazy Boy I've spent 43 years breaking-in. It's the fortress of GD solitude, and I get all the Van Halen I want...

Reminds me of the Mari Ann Fowler disappearance (likely at the hands of Derrick Todd Lee).

She was likely dead within an hour or two. Sad for the family. It's definitely taking it's toll. Savannah used to look pretty cute, and happy. Now she's looking rougher every day. Their lives will never be the same.

re: Are German cars worth the maintenance headaches and associated costs?

Posted by Red October on 1/30/26 at 3:30 pm to VolsOut4Harambe

If you plan on keeping it, they are not worth the maintenance and repair costs. So, just lease if you can and always drive something new and under warranty.

The exception is any nice Porsche 911, or a collectable M-B or BMW. These hold their value or appreciate, so the maintenance expense have an ROI. But these are a different deal and I would not consider those cars to be daily drivers (Porsche can be driven daily, but is then subject to depreciation and wear just like a normal car).

I'd keep the econoboxes for a while, and save up and buy a nice 911 that will go up in value, and which you probably will not be able to afford or prioritize you start a family.
